I'm trying to rename a folder I set up for documents and I get access denied.
When I click continue, I get the User Acct Control dialog box, and then
access denied again. No clue why. I'm the administrator.
 
Turn off UAC rename your folder turn UAC back on

Hi Coug_Gal,

Try to take ownership of the folder first, then see if you can rename
it afterwards. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Hope this helps,

And where is this folder that you've created, and what is its current name?
 
Hi,

Is it one of the "My..." folders? Those are junction points, not folders,
and cannot be renamed.
